With moving the electrical panel, AC, water line, sprinklers, cable boxes, new garage door, extension of driveway, plans, permits. The 3 quotes was $41,490 to $45,250. Since the roof going on 11 years new addition shingles wouldn’t have matched, so we probably would have re shingled entire house at additional cost.
Didn’t love the house that much, sold it, went with a new construction.

If I looked at this route, I don't think we'd stretch it that much, but I'm sure cost would be similar since it still involves moving utilities, etc. This is why i was thinking just having a bigger door would be a net positive. Sounds like that would open an engineering can of worms that really wouldn't be all that cost effective either. But I may stretch the driveway regardless. Just a bit too narrow for two cars side by side (for visitors and such).
Thanks for the feedback; it was an interesting experiment.
